Obsidian wants to make a Pillars of Eternity Tactics game after Avowed—but there’s one big problem
There's a ton of tactical strategies on the market, and Pillars would make the perfect setting for a new one.
The success of Avowed has inspired Obsidian to think of more projects set in the world of Eora, first shown to players with the Pillars of Eternity games. Being turn-based RPGs, they could prove a great foundation for a potential Pillars Tactics game, and Obsidian is considering making one.
Josh Sawyer, the director of the Pillars games and the groundbreaking Fallout: New Vegas, has come out and said, “Pillars Tactics is a thing that a lot of people at [Obsidian] would like to work on” (thanks GamesRadar). Sawyer expressed his belief that “there are a lot of people that like tactics games,” but admitted, “the fanbase is not humungous.” He said that this disparity between the size and the enthusiasm of the tactical game community would prove an issue when designing a potential Pillars Tactics title.
